How many Audi SQ8s are left in Great Britain?

Audi SQ8 MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Audi SQ8s in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.

Audi SQ8 engine sizes and fuel types

Of the 1,363 Audi SQ8s licensed in the UK at the end of 2025, 91.1% have an engine of 3,901cc to 4,000cc. The share with an engine of 3,901cc to 4,000cc has fallen from 100.0% in 2019 to 91.1%. Diesels made up 100.0% of those licensed in 2019 and 21.1% in 2025.

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. How we use engine sizes.

Audi SQ8 fuel economy and CO2

The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Audi SQ8 from 2025, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2025 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its petrol versions ranges from 22.4 to 22.8 mpg, with CO2 of 281 to 287 g/km.

• Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
• Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model name “SQ8 SUV”. How we use VCA’s figures.

Audi SQ8 safety recalls

We found no recalls for the Audi SQ8 in DVSA’s records since 1992. That does not mean none apply: DVSA sometimes records a recall under a range or chassis name we cannot match to a model. Check a specific car on GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Audi SQ8. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
